tomcat 6 does not start https on solaris 10

Hello

I have this in the config file of tomcat (server.xml)

Code:

<Connector port="443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
           enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true" acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true" SSLEnabled="true"
           clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" keyAlias="1"
           keystoreFile="/usr/local/tomcat8080/conf/ssl/tomcat.jks" keystorePass="actual_pwd" />

I had a pem file of a wildcard certificate with all the certificates included.. i have converted this to pkcs12 and import into jks.

but tomcat is not starting https.. and not even an error is displayed.. in catalina.out

I am at loss of what could be wrong.. the system is running solaris 10.

is there an issue with the certificate? I received a pem from our provider the pem had the private key the root certificates and the wildcard certificates included in the same file..

is there something I can do to troubleshoot...as I told you no errors on catalina.out.

when I stop the tomcat server I can see this:

Code:

INFO: Pausing Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-443
Oct 25, 2016 5:27:10 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService stop

but I never see something that is starting..

thanks

My suggestion would be to check the apache error log, it's set as a directive in the apache config. Similarly it can be mapped to syslog.
It could be Tomcat thinks it's starting apache, hence the lack of errors in the tomcat log, however apache (httpd) is not successfully instantiating. Conversely it could be instantiating but doing so "incorrectly" (in a way that doesn't provide connectivity to tomcat).
